The Oath is a new Berlin-based heavy metal band featuring members of Sonic Ritual and Kadaver. The frontwoman is none other than Johanna Sadonis, the organizer of the monthly Kill 'Em All Club in Berlin. Their sound can be described as hard rockin' and sleazy, somewhere between 70's Scorpions and early Danzig with some early Mercyful Fate peppered in.

I usually don't like any of this modern "doom" or bands that try to sound like Pentagram, but this is pretty good. Couldn't get into that Orchid band, or Blood Ceremony. This has a better direction i'd say...

I'm sure they'll be huge in 6 months. Two hot german babes and catchy doomy songs on rise above... Lee Dorrian is masturbating in his bank account right now.

Anyone else thinking this sounds like a proper ANGEL WITCH rip-off (compare to "Angel Of Death" e. g.) + a tad IN SOLITUDE here and there? Don't get the excitement about that band at all actually. Admitteldy a great production job though._________________"Slit my eyes, for they'll remember..."

The only "In Solitude" I can hear is the similar guitar tone (perhaps from recording in the same studio). I don't think it sounds like them on a musical level.
